    Cakes ready to grab
    Cat N.

    Salvadoran Bakery is a good spot if you're looking for a casual dining or cake. While in Seattle we were celebrating a birthday and the person I was with really wanted to get a cake from here. You can order cakes 2 days before hand but they also had plenty of ready to go cakes available when we came that day. They had big and small cakes in all different flavors. However, they specialize in different versions of their tres leches cakes, including their popular mango one. Before I tell you about the cake we got, I have to mention one of their coconut cream filled puff pastries I got there. It was easily one of the best freakin thing I had in Seattle. I don't even remember what it was called but it was a large sugar coated flaky puff pastry sandwich that had the best coconut house made whip cream inside. It was insanely good and you need to get it if they have it. Delicious! As for our cake, we went with a small 6 inch Piña Colada tres leche cake ($50). We were a little disappointed the guy behind the counter didn't speak English so it made it difficult to tell him what we wanted. We honestly would have ordered much more items if we were able to communicate. It was also a little disappointing that during our short smooth drive back to our hotel that two of the decorative cherries on the cake had fallen off. Not a big deal since I popped them back on but I didn't feel like that was something I had to do. Everyone we shared the cake with enjoyed it. It was very moist and definitely on the sweet side. It was two layers and the pineapple flavor wasn't overwhelming. The small cake was perfect to share with about 10 people. I did think the cake pricing is a little high but not too bad. Besides their full bakery they are also have a full dining menu and places to sit in the restaurant. They offer all sorts of Salvadoran foods. But like I mentioned communicating in English was difficult with the man there so we didn't order. Although I want to try their empanadas. Parking here was also easy since they have their own lot.

    Pastry box and mocha tres leches

    I have been buying pastries from Salvadorean Bakery for many years. I will never know how I forgot to write a review for them. They are located at a prominent corner with its own parking lot. Its building is covered with the "White Center" mural. They are commonly my last stop before I leave the White Center area for the long-ish drive home. I stock up on their pastries focusing on tropical flavors not found in the typical stores. One of these days, I need to eat dinner here. During the most recent visit, the interior is slightly remodeled with a more open design. They are friendly as I point to the glass cases butchering the names of pastries or simply say "the pink one". The latest purchases: Mocha Tres Leches - Really good guilty pleasure! The cake isn't as mushy as another popular place in Wallingford. This one is a firmer sitting in the "leches". I prefer this version. Pastry box - pink pineapple layer cake, pineapple Danish, guava empanada, dulce de leche custard empanada. These are all guilty pleasures that are homey, simple, and delicious.

    Pupusas Revueltas with salsa roja on top and curtido (a traditional tangy cabbage slaw) on the side
    Vicki S.

    Salvadorean Bakery is a small, family-owned business in the White Center neighborhood of Seattle. It is an old favorite that I sadly hadn't been to in a long while. I was delighted to see that they had done some interior remodeling and added a bright and fresh mural outside, which indicates to me that business has been doing well. I ordered my classic go-to (minus the side of beans and rice because I wasn't that hungry), which is a couple of Pupusas Revueltas. For those who don't know, "Revueltas" means mixed, referring to the traditional filling which is a savory combination of pork, refried beans, and cheese. It is served with a side of yummy curtido (a tangy cabbage slaw) and salsa roja (a fire-roasted tomato-based sauce). I prefer to douse my pupusas with a generous amount of salsa roja and I like to put a lot of the curtido on top. It gives it way more flavor and an irresistible tang and crunch that takes me back to my youth growing up in Los Angeles and the many Pupuserias there. Other menu items that remind me of my old hometown are their various Salvadorean cookies and Tres Leches cakes. If you've never been to The Salvadorean Bakery or it has been awhile. This post is a friendly reminder to eat there soon. They have a parking lot, a dining room with ample seating, and I've only experienced friendly and efficient service.

    Pan con Pollo
    Fionna L.

    What a well-loved and well-deserving community gem! It was bustling on Saturday morning and after ordering at the counter, our food was brought out to us in 15 minutes. They have a large seating area where I'd be equally comfortable feasting alone or hanging out with friends! There is an ample parking lot in front and a restroom in the back. We got a slice of pineapple upside down cake (exactly how it should be: light and tender crumb, with caramelized pineapple on top), pastelito con leche (thick cream, not too sweet), pan con pollo (incredible, my friend absolutely inhaled it), and chicharron pupusa (delicious! tender with a slight crisp). Everything is priced well. I'd love to come back and try the sopa de pollo y pollo frito and horchata. This is also where I'd go to order a tres leches or other full-sized cake!

    Tres leches cake. On the left, employee closed on the cake so it was slightly smeared
    Christy K.

    Got tres leches for a coworker whom received the cake for our work celebration-- was a HUGE hit! They all really loved the cake! The ordering online option has been really convenient. However the service could use room for improvement. Requested "Feliz Cumpleaños ___" writing and it was not there. Also the cream was slightly smeared as the employee closed the box on the left side of the cake. I still got the right cake so I didn't address it there as the line was really busy so just wanted to mention here. When I tried to stand in line to order pupusas I got looks from employees looking at me thinking I want the exit. I felt tad uncomfortable so I left. Understandably it was a really busy day so Ill give this place another chance later on a better day.

    10/10 absolutely beautiful cake, I highly recommend this place for cake for a special occasion

    This place is a gem. There were so many choices that I wasn't sure what to pick. I was certain everything would be good and I was not disappointed. I had a pineapple turnover and a mango and almond pastry. They were amazing! The coffee was great too. We stopped in on a weekend afternoon and it was busy but they got everyone served quickly and were very prompt. You order at the counter and can either take to go or sit in the dining room.

    The most authentic el Salvadorean spots in Seattle. Walking in you feel right at home. Bakery counter to the left to order food or anything else you need (full cakes, sit down meal, piñatas, horchata, you name it!!!), little grocery section in the center, indoor seating to the right. If ordering food (best pupusas, so many vegetarian and meat options) know it will take a bit, but it's always worth it. Parking lot to the left of the building

    Pretty chill and casual restaurant, I've never had Salvadoran before but was pretty satisfied with what I had

    Cute
    Monica S.

    It's a cute simple bakery and restaurant set up with a nice selection of sweets and a tiny grocery section. It was bustling, so it's clearly well loved in the neighborhood. Prices match King County.

    Central American gem in north Seattle. Service was warm and attentive and the food was excellent,…read moreincluding the chorizo pupusa and the beef pastelitos. The molcajete is a house specialty that layers Mexican flavors in a steaming hot broth - very good. So were the house made corn tortillas. The ambiance is nothing fancy, but it works. It is challenging in Seattle to find good Central and South American cuisine, but La Cabaña is great. So glad we tried it! Plus, they have parking.

    We have decided we're only gonna get takeout only going forward…read more Our past three visits, the service has been abysmal. One time it took 45 minutes to get our food. Last night, it took 15 minutes after we sat down for someone to just ask us, "has anyone helped you?" Twice when we ordered pupusas for our toddlers with drink orders, the kids' pupusas don't arrive until AFTER everyone else's main dishes have arrived (and after we have to remind the waitress). Cocktails have been forgotten, which we have had to remind them on as well. To our server's credit, she apologized many times and said the restaurant just got super busy at once. However, we noticed other tables (who arrived after us) were attended to and served sooner than we were. Given all the disorder, our family has decided we are just going to get takeout. The food is still excellent, but we are frustrated with the service.

    I had written a review on the original location. I heard they sold the place. We stopped by here…read moreafter many years of being away... and wishing, missing this food badly. This is the best burrito in all of Tacoma/Lakewood!!! I tell everyone to try them. People don't know what they are missing, because they are just getting pupusas. Who would think they would have great burritos. So, these are not like any other burritos, because they are not Mexican. They use their delicious black beans, their white rice with a few little veg, sour cream, onions, cilantro, you can get really good chile sauce if you want it spicy. The sauce is so good. No cheese... can you believe it? Cheese is not even needed. You can get chicken or carne asada, or like we got, no meat and they will add avocado slices. I really wanted no meat, and platano frito added. This is what we used to get, and it's great. They should add a no meat option to the menu, and also the platano option. Everyone that loves unique delicious burritos, come check this place out. The guy that took my order was friendly, and even made our burrito half no cilantro. Thanks! They get busy.

    Pupusas tasted great and the staff was nice when they took down my order, but genuinely :/ because…read morevery little napkins given and only a plastic fork in my bag? I ordered to-go, and I am genuinely surprised that they do not have more condiments available, especially with the salsa as I got 4 pupusas. No wet wipe, which may be asking for a lot, but at least make it up with the paper napkins. I love that it is near base, but u might as well order to eat-in the restaurant. That way u get all that u need. Better inspection on my end could have been done, but just :o at the...stinginess. That sounds like a harsh word, I know, but how else do I describe it...?
